Early life

He is originally a student of The Warrior's Hall on New Syrtis, and was later transferred after two year there to New Avalon Military Academy. After graduating, he was assigned to served with the Davion Heavy Guard in 3027.

With his assignment to the Davion Heavy Guards, Hanse Davion used this as a means to keep Morgan's father, Michael in line. Morgan had become Hanse's designated heir to the throne of Federated Suns with Hanse Davion's ascension to the throne. As time went on, Morgan had grown more estranged from his father and his devotion to House Davion becoming more important than his own loyalties to his father. By coming to New Avalon, he felt he was come home.

He was asked by Hanse to be his Best Man at his wedding on Terra, which he accepted wholeheartedly. Though he was happy to be Hanse's best man, he feels caught between his uncle and his father's secret feud over the throne. He strongly believed his father was wrong to try and usurp the throne. After the public announcement of him becoming Hanse Davion's Best Man at his wedding, he takes a long walk to consider his situation. After passing the Davion Peace Garden, he finds himself coming to rescue of young women being mugged. He easily overwhelms them and rescues the injured women, Kym Sorenson. The rescue marks the beginning of new relationship between the two of them.

Morgan, when not dating Kym, devoted his studies to military history and improving his command abilities. She so close to him that that he plays private holovids from his father. Unknowingly Kym secretly reports to Quintus about these activities. Quintus reports to Hanse Davion that Morgan's abilities are greatly improved and his loyalty remains firmly with the Prince. Quintus also endorses Morgan's abilities. Morgan's reading of historical and current battle reports leads him to applying them to simulations to try out his ideas to leading a flight. Copies of his efforts slip quietly to Quintus Allard's hands where he has them tested. Test results indicate this is the highest scoring of any individual the minister had ever seen. He reports to his prince that he reliable and he could take command destroy any Capellan unit they lay before him.
